6

Make thyne world about water, today, this moment, this week, this year, make thyne world about water, all the experiences one may have with water for it is said even by a rigid mind that all the world is water, all that is this world is water. What is seen, when:

Drink first from a cup of tea, prepared for you, perhaps for this occasion of ritual, for perhaps no such reason, have brought to you this cup, with the intention to pay total focus and reverence towards the experience, for then it is reverence for yourself and for the object, and then it is a metaphor see? A metaphor is a love, and so transcends any one but requires one.

Take the cup, both hands upon the sides of the vessel and close thyne eyes and imagine if you will, or perhaps listen, to the song of a flute, or if not a song, the sound of a flue, the vocal chords of the earth, slowly and like water fluidly descend upon the cup and feel how heavy the steam caresses you, how sultry it must curl, imagine the steam as this white silver, imagine it as if the size of a molecule just above your lip, see each think drop touch your skin and be absorbed, without talking you are taking in, you are being given. 

That water is much older than you can imagine, was there at the first rain, was there forever really, since the beginning of the universe, it lay in wait among stars, among the potential of our future one thousand years from now. It, and you, will be there too, then, and were together, getting together again now in the uniqueness of this current form, in the current contingencies that allow for the shaping of your matter, and you are becoming one once again, a replay of the events that preceded the explosion of the universe. 

And now return, back behind thyne eyes, and close them. Bring the cup ever closer and tilt it, and feel, the liquid silk, so similar to the consistency of stem enter you. 

The complexity of but one drop, now a million times over. 

You are becoming the water, as you have forever. 

It is given. 
Some profound truth, and for me to tell you what that truth is, is to miss the point, that it is casual, that it is not important it is vital. 

The value that holds up the world is in that truth. 

The reason we exist on whatever plane is in that truth.
